    Help to get Thunderbird bypass VPN with proxy settings.


    It's been so long since I did any manual proxy anything, but google is driving me nuts with its lockouts and pointless security BS, you can't turn it off or automate it so i need to bypass my VPN so Thunderbird will still get mail without being locked out till I go log into google.

    What IP, address,ect do I need to put in the proxy setting in Thunderbird?

    You go to the Thunderbird main menu, click options, options, Advanced, Network and disc spac, At "connection" you click on "setup conection", click on "manual proxy settings". There you fill out your proxy settings.Maybe your options are slightly different because I'm translating form my portuguese version of Thunderbird.

    That much I know but I am not sure what proxy address to put in and if I need to use the email port of 110, I mean is it my router address, local address,ect thats where I am lost.

    You have to look for a free proxy server and save it's settings or you have contract a payed proxy server or you have to run a private proxy server on your own computer.
